I've been contemplating this picture of Chloe Sevigny and the idea of doing full on fur this winter (instead of say, a fur trim or fur lapel) but I'm torn between Chloe's glam kind of fox fur, and something more retro chic like a caramel mink coat. I have a feeling silver fox would work well with the kind of monotone garments I own, (particularly my new grey bernhard willhelm anorak!) but then again, it wouldn't hurt to look like Margot Tenenbaum either. Hmm decisions, decisions.

Even if a collection doesn't appeal to my tastes it's always interesting to try to speculate what may have inspired a designer.

18th century British painter Joseph Mallord Turner's ethreal landscape paintings for Basso & Brooke?German Renaissance painter Hans Holbein's infamous "Christina of Denmark" for Peter Jensen?17th century Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyck's portraits for Louis Vuitton?In other news, I have mixed feelings about ss08 so far. I think I'll comment once I've seen everything and decided what I do and don't like.
